People directory

One source of truth for your people and agents

Customizable employee data, org structure, and group membership in one place, feeding payroll, performance, documents, and your AI agents from a single source of truth.

A people directory app window showing a list view of organization employees with columns for name, job title, reporting manager (rendered as the manager's avatar followed by their name), and group memberships (each group rendered as a stack of small member avatars followed by the group name). A search input and primary "New hire" action sit in the header alongside underline tabs for List, Org chart, and Grid views.

Customizable employee records

Track what your org needs; surface only what it should

Define the fields that matter to your team without waiting on a vendor.

Custom fields with real types — strings, dates, enums, lookups, references — defined by you, not waiting on a vendor release.

Promotions, transfers, raises, and bonuses land on the record with effective dates and a full changelog, so tenure, reporting lines, and comp history are queryable at any point in time.

Field-level permissions per role and per group, so compensation and sensitive PII only surface where they should — and every search and lookup respects the same rules.

Built into the directory

Org chart, groups, search, and audit — built in

Org chart that handles real life

Reporting lines, dotted lines, secondary connections, and matrix structures, all from the same record. No second tool, no second source of truth.

Employee groups, your way

Slice the company by team, location, jurisdiction, function. Use groups as the backbone for time-off policies, document templates, and review cycles.

Audit log on every change

Every edit, every permission change, every group reassignment, captured in the activity log.

Reports to Reports to Collaborates Coached by

A four-person org chart laid out as a diamond. Daniel Hayes (Co-founder & CEO) sits at the top center, connected by a solid "reports to" line down-left to Marcus Bennett (Engineering Manager) on the middle-left, who is in turn connected by a solid "reports to" line down-right to Olivia Hartley (Senior Engineer) at the bottom center. Sophie Lane (People Ops) sits on the middle-right, connected by dashed lines to Daniel ("collaborates") and to Olivia ("coached by"), illustrating dotted-line and secondary relationships alongside the primary reporting chain.

Where it pays off

From friction to fixed

P / 1

Employee data is one shared link away from the wrong eyes.

Compensation, home address, performance notes, and any sensitive field you define are gated by role, by group, and by field. A manager sees their team's salaries; the next team over does not see them at all. Access is uniform where it should be and locked down where it must be — no shadow spreadsheets to keep the sensitive stuff out.

P / 2

Every payroll cycle starts with a hunt for what changed.

Pay raises, role moves, working-pattern shifts, and bonuses land on the record with effective dates the moment they happen. Each cycle exports a time-bounded changelog in your provider's format, so retroactive adjustments, prorations, and pay-element changes flow through without manual reconciliation or last-minute Slack threads.

P / 3

Reorgs live in a private spreadsheet that no one can reconcile back.

Model the new structure against live records, share it with only the people who need to see it, then enact it on an effective date. Reporting lines, group memberships, and the permissions that ride on them update together, so the day after the announcement nothing is left pointing at the old org.

Stack comparison

Today vs. with Taito.ai

Status quo Taito.ai
Where headcount lives A spreadsheet for headcount, a separate tool for the org chart, a database for everything else. One record per person. Every other system reads from it.
Custom fields Limited to what the vendor decided to support. Add fields with real types — dates, numbers, links — yourself, without waiting for a release.
Org chart Redrawn by hand in Lucid every reorg, out of date within a week. Updates automatically when reporting lines change.
Sensitive fields Salaries visible to anyone with directory access. Hide individual fields like pay or home address by role.
Promotion history Promotions and raises live in someone's head until comp review. Every promotion, raise, and transfer recorded with the date it took effect.
Search Find people in one tool, their team in another, their manager in a third. One search across people, teams, roles, and locations — respecting who's allowed to see what.
